F10(2014) Evaporator Cleaning guide?

joemulder · 12-31-2018, 09:34 PM

Is there Evaporator Cleaning DIY guide available for F10?
After days of research, I just needs a bit more details on how to follow the following F10 BMW guide. " 64 51 001 Cleaning evaporator "

Thanks! AC smells so bad when I just turned it on, summer was okay because I can open the windows , but now it's running and snowing , I can't open windows all the time.

Thanks.

Without any DIY guide, I decided to try to clean my dirty evaporator myself.
I finally used a endoscope to see the evaporator, I taped the Klima-Cleaner tube with the endoscope so that I can see the evaporator via cabin filter slot.
still very difficult to reach due to the location of my car, will report back after a while. just finished the job, hopefully the ac issue/smell is gone from my car..

I don't know anything about what you're talking about; but as a new 535ix owner, I'm interested in hearing about what you did and how it turned out. So please, once you've had a chance to test the a/c, post and give us the details.
